[250 pp], 13 x 7.5 cm., loose leaves
Edition of 100 signed and numbered copies
"Published by Printed Matter in 1992 as part of a series of individually issued ex libris projects, these bookplates by Faith Ringgold are printed on acid-free paper and come in an archival document box. “Ex libris ultimus” (“The last of the books”) is printed on the plate along with “Black Matters”, the title of the first of three essays in Toni Morrison’s Playing in the Dark: Whiteness and the Literary Imagination (1992), which criticizes the American literary canon for depicting the Black experience in America from a white, Eurocentric perspective, reducing Black characters to ornamental stereotypes. There are 250 book plates in each box, including one that is signed and numbered. Other artists in the series include Larry Clark, Francesco Clemente, Eric Fischl, Robert Gober, Jenny Holzer, Claes Oldenburg, and Nancy Spero.”

Have your bitcoins been stolen from your wallet or have you invested in a fraudulent ICO or fell for an investment scam? You are not alone; I experienced the same thing. I initially lost $147k from Cryptoallday and a few other sites in three months. I contacted the authorities, who referred me to Hackwest at writeme dot com, which helped me recover all of my funds in less than two days. I’m speaking up to raise awareness about cryptocurrency thieves and to do everything in my power to keep victims to a minimum.
